“Whether the contract comes with Green Bay in the near future or one of the other 31 teams, that’s the reality of it,” Jennings said, via Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “That’s the way I have to approach it. My mind-set is 20 weeks of football with the Packers and then this is it.

“This is my last year with the Packers under contract. That’s my mind-set. I’m not thinking about contract. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, I have to make sure I go out there and do what I’ve been doing for six solid years here to get myself a chance to play somewhere.”

Finding a home won’t be a problem for a big-play receiver such as Jennings, who has 6,171 receiving yards and 49 touchdowns in six seasons.

During the season, it becomes harder, and Jennings said he told agent Eugene Parker not to bother him once the season starts unless he was close to finishing something.

“My agent knows, we know our march to what we’re trying to reach,” Jennings said of the price range. “That’s it. Unless we come to those numbers, then I don’t want to hear anything about it.

“Like I said, I have one thing on my mind, that’s football this year with this team that I’ve been loyal to for six years. I’m a realist. I don’t put it past anyone. This organization has to do what it has to do for itself and I have to do what I have to do for Greg.”

The Packers have hard-balled pending free agents before, but never with a legitimate star such as Jennings, who will command as much money. There’s no reason to think he’s worth less than the $11.1 million per year with $26 million guaranteed Tampa Bay gave Vincent Jackson.

And with players such as Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews and B.J. Raji also in line for bumps, it’s hard to know if the Packers can, or will be able to do the deal, or franchise him, or watch him walk away.

Jordy Nelson can be a legit number 1 receiver. I truly believe that. He has the physical tools as well as ability to be.

Who gets to be the #2? If we are thinking about not this but next season, then donald is probably gone. I really think that it will be a toss up between Cobb or J.Jones. Both will get some work this season and one will separate (I’m thinking Cobb but who knows. The other one will be the #3.

Our fourth could be Boykin (kept surprisingly on the roster and not keeping the three more experienced and known WRs Gurley, Borel, and Shaky.) Pack saw enough from Boykin to stop developing three WRs they had been for quite some time. That says a lot (especially to a team that loves to groom their own).

5th? I somewhat count Finley in their and (IMO) that could be the pack’s 5

Ideal situation? Not really because J.Jones ain’t a superstar and Cobb is relatively unproven (although that could change after this season). Would I like to see 85 resigned? Damn right, but with Raji, Clay, and Aaron (I think?) contracts needing redoing/extending, it’ll be hard.

All I’m saying is that losing him would be a blow but not as big maybe as some think. But what do I know…

As much as I would love to see him become a Free agent and Miami give him a kings ransom to catch passes from Tannehill, there’s no way Green bay is letting this guy walk. Good teams don’t operate that way. This is a non story

At least he isn’t talking about holding out. for that alone he deserves to be paid. He produced for them year in and out. And Jordy Nelson is only as good as the double team opposite of him. He is not a number 1 receiver. Stop fooling yourselves.

I think the Broncos would REALLY make a push for him. I think Peyton gonna realize how good he had it in Indy with Garcon, Wayne, and Clarke. PM is gonna storm into Elway’s office Demanding Jennings !!!!!!

Had no idea Jennings was in a contract year. I always thought of him as one of the unsung elite wide receivers, where most people think of Megatron, Fitz, Cruz, and Roddy White as probably the best in the league, but almost no one remembers Jennings. Hope he has another solid year and gets himself a big pay day as a result.

Two thoughts. First, I am a Steeler fan. Second, my memory might not be sharp. But, if my memory is correct, please let him go and we’ll grab him if we can. Don’t worry, haters, we’ll figure out a plan.
